    Ok, but remember the time frame. I’ve seen nothing to suggest there was a threatened lawsuit in April, but maybe there was…
  2. mannc
    Or the opposite…
  3. mannc
    Again, it’s not at all clear that Araiza knew in April that there was any kind of legal issue to be concerned about, especially if you believe he had nothing to do with the alleged gang rape.

    It’s not at all clear that Araiza knew there was any sort of pending legal matter in April.

    What is your basis for this statement? Just curious…did he say that?
  6. mannc
    What was Araiza supposed to tell the Bills (and the other teams) pre-draft? Again, the “Araiza misled the Bills” narrative makes no sense at all.

    Ok. I’d read (can’t remember where) that he refused to allow her to be interviewed, which would not surprise me.
  8. mannc
    Very possible, but that’s a dangerous game. Employer gets scared and cuts employee, there goes your settlement fund.
  9. mannc
    How do you know they didn’t ask?
  10. mannc
    The Bills absolutely spoke to her attorney as part of their investigation, as they should have.
  11. mannc
    Not at all. If an investigation explored all possible avenues, then it was thorough. Again, I don’t know if this one was, but the victim’s refusal to talk to them doesn’t make it less than thorough, especially if they talked to her lawyer.
  12. mannc
    It was reported somewhere that he refused, as I would expect him to.
  13. mannc
    They can’t force her to talk, and they did talk to her lawyer, which is the best they could do.

    Ok, what’s your opinion on “how the Bills are handling this”? Seems hard for me to believe the team didn’t have enough information when they cut Haack, but if they didn’t, it’s on them, not Araiza.
  15. mannc
    It’s likely her lawyer would not permit it. I’m sure they asked.
  16. mannc
    So are you saying you think he was asking the Bills to pay to settle the case? That would be highly unusual, since the Bills certainly couldn’t be held liable for what happened when Araiza was at SDSU…

    If the Bills learned new details in the past 24 hours, that’s their fault. They were in direct communication with the plaintiff’s lawyer and supposedly had a crack investigative team on the job. And if Araiza is innocent, he might not have known those “new details.”
  18. mannc
    But if Araiza is innocent, how would he know the full details of what her lawyer would allege in the complaint? I just don’t buy the “Araiza wasn’t honest with the team” argument. The Bills were in direct contact with the lawyer before they decided to cut Haack. Seems like a way for the Bills to pass the buck for what might turn out to be a really serious organizational failure.

    It’s conceivable that the plaintiff’s lawyer only gave the Bills a hint of what was coming, but maybe Araiza didn’t know either, until the complaint was filed. Here’s what I don’t understand: Why was the plaintiff’s lawyer talking to the Bills? Was it as part of the Bills’ investigation or did plaintiff’s lawyer initiate those calls as part of his “settlement strategy”?
  20. mannc
    Well, the Bills were in direct communication with the plaintiff’s lawyer weeks ago, well before Haack was cut…so they had to have already known that the allegations were very serious…I don’t think the “Araiza misled the Bills” argument makes much sense.
  21. mannc
    Just curious, what do you think Araiza lied about to the Bills?
  22. mannc
    LOL. Someone always says this whenever Darnold’s name comes up. Why on Earth would the Bills ever consider that? Darnold is flat out garbage and will be OOF within a year or two
  23. mannc
    That's fair...right now, the Bills don't look too good, having acknowledged that they cut the other punter while being aware of this issue. It's possible that keeping their head down is the best thing to do. That's not the case for Team Araiza...the other side is already winning.
  24. mannc
    Wrong
  25. mannc
    Nope. The texts released by Gilleon show that there were negotiations that broke down...
